Then someone told me that there were free audio (音频) books. I was surprised because I knew that it was still difficult for me to listen to long passages. However, at that moment I suddenly realized that not so long ago I had read several wonderful stories by Somerset Maugham in Russian. And it would be a great idea to try listening to them in English, So, as I knew the ideas of those stories, it would be easier for me to understand these stories 69. ______ listening. I have been listening to Maugham’s works for one week every day while walking to college. I like these clever stories. In my opinion. it is a very useful way to improve my listening.

Arthur sat at the desk in his room， pencil in hand. He had to write a story for his English class by Friday. “I don’t know what to write about，” he complained to his dog Toby， who was asleep at his feet. Arthur was talkative when speaking to his friends， yet he had trouble finding words when he had to write.

By bedtime Arthur had drawn a picture of Toby smiling. He had drawn a tree with its branches blowing in the strong wind. He had also written a note asking his friend Lee to go to the movies on Saturday. But he had not written a single word of his story.

On Wednesday， Mrs. Solomon， Arthur’s English teacher， asked the class to turn in the first draft of their stories. His heart sinking， Arthur turned in the only work he had—the page with his name， the drawings and the note.

Arthur wasn’t surprised when Mrs. Solomon asked him to stay after class the next day. But he was surprised by what she said to him. “This is an attractive story， Arthur. The dog， the movie， the tree in the wind—I can’t wait to find out how they all fit together.”

“That isn’t my story， Mrs. Solomon，” Arthur admitted. “I haven’t been able to think of one yet.”

“Oh， I think you have the seed of a story there，” Mrs. Solomon replied， “Look at your note and the pictures and see if a story comes to you.”

That night Arthur sat at his desk， and this is what he wrote： “One Saturday Mike went downstairs to meet his friend Julio at the cinema. It looked as if it might rain， so Mike carried his umbrella. Suddenly a big storm blew in， bending the trees. The noise of the wind sounded like the barking of Mike’s dog Toby. Toby really hated storms and barked whenever he wanted to be let inside. Then Mike realized that it wasn’t the sound of the wind. It was Toby. The dog was running after him down the busy street， barking. The sound was filled with blame. Mike felt guilty because he had left Toby outside. He turned and headed home with Toby running beside him. Mike let Toby in the door just as the rain started to pour down.”

Arthur had a story in the end. The last thing he did was to write his name proudly at the top of the page.

1.Why did Arthur turn in the page with only his name， the drawings and the note at first?

A. Because he had no time to fit them together.

B. Because he had difficulty in writing a story.

C. Because he wasn’t willing to do his homework.

B. The small tree will grow into a big one.

C. His friend Lee can give him a lot of support.

D. He can develop his story based on the first draft.

3.Which of the following statements is not right according to Arthur’s last story?

A. A storm made the tree fall down.

B. Mike carried his umbrella to go to the cinema.

C. The dog was barking and running after Mike down the busy.

D. Mike returned home and let the dog in the door.

4.What kind of teacher do you think Mrs. Solomon is ?

C. She is an honest teacher

D. She is an energetic teacher

5.What can we infer(推断)from the story?

We know good manners are important. Today I am going to tell you something about manners in different countries. I think you already know that people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things.

Something that is rude in one country may be quite polite in another. For example, in Britain you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having liquid food(流质食物). That is considered bad manners in Britain. But in Japan you needn’t worry about making a noise when you drink something. It shows that you are enjoying it. In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal. In Arabic countries we must be careful with our hands. You see, in Arabic countries you mustn’t eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country?

Well, you needn’t worry. You can ask the natives(本地人) there to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do.
